ADVANCING HUMAN RESOURCES QUALITY IN THE MODERNIZATION OF THE NORTH MOUNTAINOUS PROVINCES

Abstract

Vietnam in general and the Northern mountainous provinces in particular are in the process of urban modernization, especially when science and technology is applied effectively, the government will provide services and utilities to people and businesses, contributing to improving the quality of life and increasing the competitiveness of the economy. However, the Northern mountainous provinces are currently facing difficulties and obstacles such as low education level, outdated agricultural and forestry farming techniques, swidden cultivation, burning and destroying forests for swidden cultivation, monoculture and extensive farming are still common in highland and remote communes. Cadres are lacking in number, inadequate in structure, low in qualifications, especially scientific - technical cadres, economic managers and teachers of high schools at all levels from primary to secondary and high school, colleges, universities. The contingent of cadres with university degrees who are children of ethnic minorities is still too few, while the contingent of lowland cadres working in the northern mountainous provinces have not been assured of long-term attachment. The socio-economic development investment programs for the Northern mountainous provinces have achieved initial results, but these are not sustainable, unstable and far from the set targets. Therefore, before the requirements set forth, improving the quality of human resources of the Northern mountainous provinces with sufficient quality and capacity is an extremely urgent issue, with urgent theoretical and practical significance.
